Fwd: Democracy

Democracy is unknowableUnless you've experienced itThen the loss of democracy is unthinkableBorn to be free hard tho it may beWe were not born to democracyDemocracy is learned, taughtStruggled with and for age after ageLearning or teaching democracy starts with a thoughtWhat if a people could govern themselvesInstead of being governed by the strongest or meanest or just wiliest or richestWhat if a people could decide collectivelyHow to live together, which way is bestIt is never a given, this democracyAlways threatened under attack by those whose souls lack the fullness Of light, unable to seeAnd again the people must wage the age old fight and be boldTo preserve the promise of humanityAnd the fullness of our collective soulSent from my iPhone
